I'm really worried about my Mantoux test results from a few days ago. I attached some pictures here. Can you take a look and let me know if it seems positive or negative? Unfortunately, the pathology lab where I had the test done is closed for a couple of days, and I'm a bit anxious. Just for some context, I had tuberculosis two years back and completed the full course of treatment. Now my doctor suggested this test because I've been having body pain again. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
